Was it based on national figures or statewide figures? What was the population size, meaning did the population consist of X number of women and X number of men? This base-rate information is highly important to truly determine who would be the worse driver, men or women. It is also important to define what a 'bad' drive is as well. But, I think knowing who causes more accidents is also important to settling the stereotype of women being worse drivers than men. IMHO A few questions:

When I say red, I mean really red. I am very angry. Thank goodness I found this blog. I have had the exact same experience with Acuvue Oasys as everyone listed above. I was switched by the advice of my doctor from the Acuvue 2 several years ago. This whole time I thought it was my allergies causing Allergic Conjunctivitis. It made sense because I have seasonal allergies and my eyes were also itchy. I will spare you they whole story because it is EXACTLY the same as the others. I did get a scarred cornea and some eye infections. NEVER once did the doctors think it was the contacts. Guess what? They still don't. I called my eye doctor yesterday to tell her I wanted a refund for my contacts that I had just purchased. What do you think she said? "It is probably not the contacts, but an eye infection". Wow. Duh. What is causing the eye infection genius? THE CONTACTS! Long story short. I have suffered many years from these poison contacts. I have had several days ruined, I have beed depressed about it several times, and ofcourse wasted lots of money. I am in my twenties and I hope there is no permanent damage. Who knows? Thank you everyone for sharing your experiences and I am so glad that we have all found a solution for our eye problems. These contacts are gone! Please spead the word anyway you can that these contacts are horrible. Hopefully one day they will be removed from the market forever.

My new eye doctor had me switch from my Acuvue 2s (which i never had problems with!) to the Advanced and then Oasys. About a month after I started using them I noticed my eyes were extremely dry and I went to the doctor thinking I scratched my cornea. Since October, I've been in the emergency room twice, the urgent care 3 times, 2 allergy specialists, a dermatologist and to the eye specialist twice. My eyes get super teary and crusty, and my eyelids (the right more than the left) will swell up to triple its size to the point them are swollen completely shut. It's painful, in fact, I had an episode yesterday afternoon, so today it's still slightly swollen and hurts terribly. I do not sleep in contacts, I throw them out every two weeks, so i never thought that contacts were the culprit. My eye specialist mentioned it could possibly be these Acuvue Oasys contacts and that hes had other patients have problems with them. I didn't think it was that because I've never had contact problems before. But last time I was there, he gave me a pair of my trust old Acuvue 2's, and I wore them 2 weeks without an incident. It was time to throw them out, so i had no choice but to put a fresh pair of the Oasys in 3 days ago and BAM, I have an episode. BEWARE OF ACUVUE ADVANCED AND OASYS! I've missed a lot of work and accrued a ton of medical bills because of this! It's been a painful and embarassing experience because my eyelids swell up within 15 minutes. There has been a couple occasions that I didn't even know it was happening and someone had to pull me aside and have me go look in the mirror. I've gone through 3 regiments of steroids and steroid shots in order to stop the swelling! Very painful and very expensive to fix! Now I am stuck with an 9 months worth of these Oasys contacts that cost me a pretty penny! I can’t tell you how glad I am I ran across this thread.

I think Python is good as long as you will master it. In the mean time PHP is still one of the common language that we used to develop website. I hope that Phyton language would really make sense when it comes to future online program development.. Thanks for posting this insight. This is really new venture for everyone..
